Como dizia o Neto, e o Yuri Alberto?
Ancelloti will make the right decision.
Endrick is a tornado of a player
Rodrygo is better than Vinicius
Vini is "up there" 😂😂😂what?!
don’t forget Rodrygo, Don Calo favours him alot
Carlos VINICIUS IS A BEAST
DREAM TEAM NEYMAR, ENDRICK, VINI JR, ESTEVÃO, RAPHINHA, RODRIGO, CASEMIRO, MARQUINHOS, ALISSON….
Swap for Harry & money on top, or go for Alvarez ….! Need to play
Ethan Nwaneri much more …! Or play our academy players Forwards over in more pro games time M.Dowman, I.Kabia, A.H Anous, M.Frohock D.Casey, I.Ibrahim, M Hashi, D Oyetunde A Stevens.
Brazil coming with an absurd front line as per usual
Brasil new Pelé
I disagree with the commentator; he doesn't know that Enrick is a player gifted with skill and composure… clueless… what a kid, an exceptional finisher! The other players on the national team are good but just supporting actors; they don't decide games. They're great at their clubs but don't perform for the national team. They went to two World Cups (Vini and Rodrigo, Raphinha) and still haven't brought home the sixth World Cup title for Brazil. Neither João Pedro nor Igo Jesus, this kid Enrick is a monster as a true number 9, he's a bit like Ronaldo Fenômeno. This golden boy is a true number 9, decisive.
🇧🇷Ele lembra o Pelé, pelo comportamento, técnica e força física. É claro que Pelé é incomparável pois tinha um canhão nas duas pernas cabeceava muito e batia faltas como ninguém. Mas a vontade do Endrick em prosseguir a jogada e não ter medo de cara feia, lembra o Pelé sim. O moleque é muito brabo, em um ano estará no top 5. Sim, eu vi Pelé ao vivo em campo em estádios como Pacaembu e Morumbi em São Paulo, Brasil.
I would t select endrick to lead the line for brazil right now,he is still learning the trade as a number 9 but i will have him starting alongside someone like joao Pedro upfront.i think brazil should play with 2 upfront.brazil issue of late has been they are to short upfront so its easy to play against them.defenders know they are gonna win balls in the air.so crosses coming in aren’t gonna be a threat.so having a guy like Joao Pedro upfront give the front line that aerial threat plus Joao is also very good technically so you don’t lose anything infront in terms of technical ability.the issue then becomes where will estevao play?
Raphinha is overrated,that game vs Argentina at home,showed me everything I needed to know about raphinha.when the pressure was on,he couldn’t handle it.raphinha could t even control the ball,he was the worst player on the field,it was embarrassing seeing him as a Brazilian international
1 have opi ned So very long ago . I have seen his scoring ability long ago .The best live up required for Brazil now is endrika,estavo and lgor Thiago or Antony. All these players are genius players and incredible Scoring ability.only they want is better mid fielders and defenders.There is no other option to lift the world cup . obviously other team mark endrick tightly. So estavo and lgor Thiago Can score easily. To mark all these three Players is not easy
I am a Real Madrid fan… but saying Rapinha is not a International level player is wild. Also he is better than Vinicius.
Never seen another player compared to Pele… and he lives up to it. Generational
Obviously
Vini – Raphinha – Estavao
Endrick
Sub: Joao Pedro, Cunha, Neymar, Antony
Endrick Pedro and Jesus should be our strikers i swear to god if we keep trying to force Richarlison to be our 9 im going to lose my mind
I think right now, at 3/2/26, João Pedro is a little better
Ever since endrik made his first appearance for the national team he has been the obvious brazil number 9. But for some reason coaches have been blind to that fact. Now he's into their faces lets see.
What is this guy saying Raphinha is not a international player raphinha score more goals than all put together 😂😂😂😂
Endrick is good
This man shouldn’t talk football he just outed raphinha
Brazils 9 has to be 6ft or more
vini out endrik in
Endrick is the number 9 with the most potential in this generation. However, his characteristics aren't ideal for Ancelotti's system. Ancelotti will need playmaking strikers like João Pedro or Matheus Cunha against the best opponents to add more midfield volume. And he'll need physical strikers with good aerial ability against opponents with a deep defensive line, like Carlos Vinicius or Igor Thiago (I liked that you mentioned Vinicius; he has the best numbers per 90 min. Brazilians tend to forget about this option). Brazil has many options for fast and skillful wingers; we don't need another pace and skillful striker like Endrick or Kaio Jorge.
PS: Only a true madridista, like Mbizo, would prefer both Vini Jr. and Rodrygo over Raphinha. Crazy!
